Nooooooo! The first and primary European GSM band is "900 MHz", the
secondary band is "1800 MHz". If you are buying a phone to use all over
Europe you need at least "900 MHz" to get service everywhere. Having "1800"
is a benefit as it gives you more options, but a phone that has only "1800"
is inadequate for use all over Europe.

thanks for the info, good to know. Helps me decide between the HTC 5600 or
the Blackberry 7100t. Appreciate it.

You would be wrong on that.  It's 900.

Yes *there* is.  The predominant band is 900 Mhz.  The other band is
1800 Mhz.
